Buyers want to inspect your house and neighborhood
for they are important to them. Buyers always over estimate the costs
and repairs. It is always preferable that you prepare your home prior
to all showings, this usually results in a faster sale at a higher price.
Leave your home to your professional Realtor to show and sell it for
you.

2. THE FRONT VIEW GREETS THE BUYER.

Make sure it is inviting. Keep your lawn well
manicured and cleaned. Power washing the house, sidewalks, decks and
driveways, greatly improves curb appeal. A new coat of paint on the
front porch rails will give your entrance a fresh look.

3. DUST & DIRT REDUCE APPEAL

Inspect for cobwebs in the corner, dusty ceiling
fans, dirty floors and carpets. A small investment in time and good
cleaning will ensure the home looks its best will aid in bringing you
the greatest return.

Open blinds, shades, and curtains to show how
cheerful your home is. Turn on every light in the house. Make sure light
fixtures are properly secured and clean. Wash windows and remove screens
to clean both sides.

10. PETS UNDERFOOT!

Many buyers are very pet sensitive. Keeping your
pets out of the home during showings is very important. Pay special
attention to removing all pet beds, food bowls and toys, this will reduce
pet odor in the home.
